The last two movies of lal jose were "Diamond Necklace" and "Aayalum Njanum Thammil" which were huge hits and kept really different from each other. So this time we wouldn't expect anything less than an awesome movie from Lal who has been the main hit makers in Malayalam movie industry.
About the movie:
"Emmanuel-Deivam namoodu koode" deals with the story of a simple and humble man emmanuel, his family and people around him. Emmanuel with wife and son lives simple but happy life in rented home. Emmanuel got a job in a book publishing press which can close anytime due to lack of publicity and the owner is tricky enough not to pay salary to employees, especially his favorite person emmanuel because he is very pure in heart and sees his owner as godfather. It was hard for him and his family but still they were happy with what they have. Unfortunately one day the owner josephettan goes dark and so the publishing press closes down and emmanuel has to find a new job with a reference. Now he gets job in MNC which is an insurance company. Here he comes across his boss Jeevan(Fahad Fazil) who is so strict and very cunning and gives his job first priority to anything other including his family. Emmanuel sure has a new job with a fixed salary and now has to finish his target every month and he finds hard to cope up with the new generation lads who have really different mindsets. From there it was hard and very challenging job for a pure heart person emmanuel and with his whole life dream of owning a house and lot of other things the story develops.
The movie is humored sentimental drama and have lots of lovely moments which makes us realise the world around us and ourselves.
First half of the movie got lot of humorous situation and surely the scenes with fahad and mamooka was fun to watch most of the time. Second half gets into the story pretty much and get dramatic and sentimental but surely never got me boring.
Cinematography by Pradeep Nair was simple and adequate for the movie.
Editing by Ranjan Abraham again was pretty good and never let it boring at anytime.
Art-direction by Mohandas was good. some simple sets but beautifully presented.
Music by Afzal Yusuf was again simple and just flowed through the movie.
And again another simple and humble climax makes us feel very happy and surely makes our heart little light.
About the cast:
Mamooty is emmanuel in the movie. Mammoka has been brilliant throughout the movie and has shown again the simplicity of a person at its best. Hats off to him.
Fahad as jeevan was absolute brilliant and you got to watch his facial expression change. It changes too quickly that we will never understand what kind of person he actually is.
Rinu mathew the new actress introduced by lal jose played emmanuel's wife and kept it brilliant and never made felt like it was her debut and was perfect for the character and promises a new talent to malayalam.
Master Gauri shankar will take your heart away as emmanuel's son by his angel looks and cute talking. He was the main attraction in the movie.
Sukumari amma plays an important role in the movie and seeing her on screen we will surely know what we are going to miss in future.
Nedumudi veenu, Mukesh, salim kumar, muktha, Guinness pakru and many others played different, simple roles and kept it pretty good.
Should you watch:
No huge fights, no big romance, not colorful, but still a very simple beautiful happiness filled movie and if you are a person with good heart and got much emotions you surely don't want to miss this movie because you will love emmanuel and his family and the whole movie which gives pretty good encouraging message to all of us.
And as always the final decision is yours :)
My rating: 4.5/5
